That’s according to an interview published Monday in the Baptist Press, in which Cathy says his Atlanta-based company is “very much supporting of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit.”

Cathy also said on Ken Coleman’s radio show in June that people advocating for same-sex marriage are “inviting God’s judgment on our nation.”

“As it relates to society in general I think we’re inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake out fist at him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,’” Cathy said. “And I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to try to redefine what marriage is about.”

Cathy’s remarks are, not surprisingly, stirring up a controversy between conservative Christians and same-sex marriage supporters on Twitter that first began last year. (Search “Chick-fil-A” on Twitter to tune into the 140-character back-and-forth.)

The company first came under fire for its conservative stance on marriage in January of 2011 after news broke that an outlet in Pennsylvania sponsored a marriage seminar given by an openly anti-gay group.

Fallout from the ensuing controversy included a decision by students at Northeastern University in February to cancel plans to bring a Chick-fil-A to campus.

Further, a report published by gay rights advocacy group Equality Matters earlier this month says Chick-fil-A donated more than $3 million to Christian groups opposed to homosexuality between 2003 and 2009, and nearly $2 million more in 2010.

Cathy maintains that Chick-fil-A is not a Christian company, in spite of being founded on biblical principles.

“We know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles,” Cathy said.
